How to use

The key classes that are needed to achieve this look are the following: 

  • bg-white - The background colour needs to be a clear colour, white works brilliantly, but a colour could also work here
  • bg-opacity-80 - The main thing we should change is the number, so "bg-opacity-[number]"
  • backdrop-filter - Allows the image to bleed through
  • backdrop-blur-lg - Controls the strength of the blur on the image
  • backdrop-saturate-150 - Saturates the colours and tones of the background image.
  • shadow-xl - Adds a shadow.
  • overflow-hidden - Utilities for controlling how an element handles content that is too large for the container.
  • border border-white - The border and colour.
  • border-opacity-90 - The border opacity covers the thin stroke that goes around the edges. change the number "border-opacity-[number]" to lighten and darken the effect.
